@emdoesresearch @PhDVoice Congrats Dr! 🥰

A huge thank you to my supervisors, my participants, my examiners and my very own personal support network.

It’s viva morning! See you on the other side folks 🫡 #PhDViva #PhDVoice #PhDChat @PhDVoice

Happy #WorldBipolarDay. I'm a researcher who studies mental health support. I'm also someone who needs it. I've stopped treating those as things to keep apart. Proud to be part of the work @BrainGenHub and @BipolarUK does. 🧡

Speaking on a panel for @BipolarUK and @BrainGenHub this Monday (3:30–5pm) 🌍 on emerging research in bipolar care, including my own experience as a researcher living with bipolar with psychotic features. You can register here for all three webinars: bipolaruk.org/get-involved/w…

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay 💙 We’re in Edinburgh for the first-ever MHP Research Summit 2025, bringing together researchers, clinicians & people with lived experience to advance understanding of severe mental illness. Follow for highlights! #MHPSummit2025 #MentalHealthResearch

Thanks for following along! This is just the start. Stay tuned for our next paper, which turns to the lived experiences of students with mental illness — how they navigate, negotiate, and sustain support in everyday life. 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s12889… #MentalHealth #StudentMentalHealth #PhDVoice

8️⃣ Contribution to knowledge Among the first UK studies to test structural and perceived support together. Findings show that subjective perceptions of support availability are more influential for wellbeing — and help explain how networks shape the direction of help-seeking.

1️⃣ New paper out in BMC Public Health! 🚀 We examined how students’ personal networks and perceptions of support are related to their #MentalHealth and help-seeking behaviours. Main takeaway? Feeling supported matters more than network size. 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s12889…

Fantastic to be part of @BrainGenHub launch yesterday - working together towards improving diagnosis & understanding of bipolar & psychotic disorders. And realising our goal of making our research hub a true community

What a day! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our launch ✨💙 @BipolarUK @Adferiad_ @ncmh_wales @CNGGcardiff @GW4Alliance @neurosciencecu @UniofBath @SwanseaUni @UniofExeter @BristolUniversi @UKRI_News @MHPlatform✨

In Cardiff today for a very exciting project launch @BrainGenHub @BipolarUK 🧠🧬
